And Maestro Arturo Toscanini said: "Impeccable taste and musicianship.
		The Trio could not have made a better choice for their topics of conversation - trios by Beethoven, Ravel and Brahms - and they knew their subjects intimately, revealing the very heart of the music far beyond the notes on the score.
		The Beaux Arts Trio, which is unquestionably the finest trio performing before the public today, presented another superb concert yesterday, another in the succession of superb concerts they have been giving in Montreal for the past decade and a half.

		Mention a familiar Beethoven or Schubert trio to a music-lover, and chances are you'll trigger thoughts of the Beaux Arts Trio, so inextricably linked has this ensemble become with the music it espouses.
		Last week the Beaux Arts turned 50 and observed the occasion by playing the same Beethoven programme in roughly the same venue (the elegant Seiji Ozawa Hall was 39 years away in 1955) that served for its debut.
		His opus 1, no 3, in C minor served to alert the listener to the qualities of the Beaux Arts as currently constituted.

		The Beaux Arts Trio, however, I felt was really at home in its performance of the "Archduke" Trio of Beethoven, Op.
		This Trio in its Finale movement incorporates a Jewish theme, and the Trio as a whole is a commentary on injustices committed to the Jewish people, with the playful movement containing sorrowful and biting undertones.
		And indeed, the Beaux Arts Trio performance of the Scherzo movement contained a biting wit and sarcasm, appropriately capturing the mood and affect of the work.

		The two trios of Opus 70, written in 1808, may be compared with such other music of that period as the Fourth Piano Concerto, the Violin Concerto, the Sixth Symphony, and, especially, the Cello Sonata, Op.
		The Trio begins with a commanding figure in bare octaves, but it is the soft-spoken answering phrase that evolves as the movement proceeds.
		The deft scherzo is in canon, strings against piano, while the trio is a peasant dance with emphatic accents.

		Just as the Beaux Arts Trio was about to embark on a major European and US tour before this, their 50th anniversary season, their violinist, Young Uck Kim, had a neck operation, and failed to recover well enough to play in the trio again.
		To appreciate the full significance of this loss, it should be pointed out that the Beaux Arts were to the string trio what the Amadeus was to the quartet: an ensemble which had pioneered the genre of the string trio as polished, professional ensemble, widening its repertoire, and making definitive recordings.
		The agent of the Beaux Arts’ founding member, the pianist Menahem Pressler, happened to be the German representative of the young British violinist Daniel Hope.

		Schubert's two piano trios are the products of his last years when, knowing that he was ill and dying, he still managed to produce dozens of songs and chamber music masterpieces, as well as pursue counterpoint studies and make plans for further orchestral and stage works.
		While there are only about a dozen orchestral works in all, he composed three each of piano trios, piano quartets, string quartets, and violin sonatas; two each of cello sonatas, string quintets, and string sextets; and a host of other pieces such as the clarinet quintet, horn trio, and piano quintet.
		The approach of the Beaux Arts players and their associates is essentially reflective: they let the music speak for itself and avoid the rhetorical excesses other interpreters often fall victim to.
